At the centre of the Williamson Art Gallery is an enclosed courtyard, currently known as The Quad. Did you know the space was there?  

For almost 90 years, this outside/inside heart of the gallery has been derelict and without purpose. The building lacks a secure outdoor area and the planned garden offers the potential for a usable and adaptable outdoor space. This would considerably increase the attractiveness of the gallery, offering a green haven to visitors, local residents and anyone who needs a moment of quiet, as well as providing a venue for family celebrations and corporate events.  

Our aim is to bring this space, ‘The Quad, into use as The Green Gallery, where all visitors can sit freely to enjoy the  plants and sculpture, or even to take inspiration from the surroundings for their own artwork.  The Wirral Museums Service, fully supported by the Friends, provides acclaimed summer courses for children and also works with disadvantaged groups including people with mental, sensory and physical difficulties so an outside “breakout space” will be a major and essential asset.      We need your support to turn this idea into a growing, living, blooming wonderful space. Turn over for how you can donate to the project.
